YAGI(1)

✨ YAGI(1) ✨

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for yagi(1), living happily in the General Commands Manual section of your local man setup. lowkey the whole page is about one lil executable called dipole, and it's giving very much "part of something bigger." let's get into it πŸ’–


🌸 NAME 🌸

  • dipole β€” Yagi-Uda project file. Computez Z of a dipole
yes bestie, "Computez" with a z. we do not edit the sacred text. it ate, it stays 🫢

πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

yagi [ - dhps ] filename

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so the program dipole is one of a whole lil squad of executable programs that together form a set of programs collectively known as the Yagi-Uda project πŸŽ€βœ¨ β€” and that whole squad was designed for analysis and optimisation of Yagi-Uda antennas. iconic behaviour, honestly.

and dipole specifically? she was added to find the impedance of just a single dipole. no group project energy, just one dipole, one impedance, main character energy fr fr πŸ’…


πŸ’œ SEE ALSO πŸ’œ

go read these too, they're the rest of the friend group:


🌈 PLATFORMS 🌈

Only UNIX versions have been produced. the author, and I quote, "I can't be bothered with brain-dead operating systems like Windoze." πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€ no notes, honestly. he said what he said.


πŸ’€ BUGS πŸ’€

okay so if you find a bug, report it to david.kirkby@onetel.net πŸ“§. and here's the tea: bugs tend actually to be fixed if they can be isolated, so it is in your interest to report them in such a way that they can be easily reproduced. like, help him help you, bestie 🫢

⚠️ and a real one: if the input file is edited manually and done incorrectly, there can be unpredictable results. unpredictable!! not "slightly off," not "eh close enough" β€” unpredictable. so be careful out there πŸ™ˆ

and that's the whole page, bestie πŸ’– this lil gem is Version 1.16, dated 24th October 2000 β€” vintage, retro, still slaying. mwah πŸ’…βœ¨πŸ¦‹
